A scone filled with dried cherries, herbs, lemon zest, and onions—eat one for breakfast with tea or take one to work for a quick lunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 Tbs white sugar
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 6 Tbs butter, salted and chilled
  • 1 tsp minced lemon zest
  • 2 tsp minced, fresh thyme
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup diced yellow onions
  • 1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped, dried sour cherries
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg-washing tops of scones)
  • Flour, as needed

Directions

  • Using an electric mixer combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
  • Add butter and blend on low speed until mixture resembles cornmeal, with small chunks of butter still visible.
  • Add lemon zest, thyme, pepper, onions, and dried cherries. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  • Add two eggs and cream and blend on low speed until mixture just holds together as a dough.
  • Remove dough from mixing bowl and turn out onto lightly floured work surface. Gently fold dough over itself five times.
  • Divide dough into two equal pieces. Form each piece of dough into a seven inch round, about 3/4 inch thick.
  • Cut each round into six wedges and brush tops with egg wash.
  • Place separated wedges on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and place on cooling rack to cool slightly. Best if served warm.
